When to use this skill

CRITICAL TRIGGER RULE

  • Use this skill ONLY when the user explicitly mentions the exact skill name: ascii-cli-logo-banner-python.

Trigger phrases include:

  • "ascii-cli-logo-banner-python"
  • "use ascii-cli-logo-banner-python"
  • "用 ascii-cli-logo-banner-python 生成启动 Banner"
  • "使用 ascii-cli-logo-banner-python 输出 ASCII Logo + slogan(居中)"

Boundary

  • Output copy-pastable text and layout rules only. Do not modify project code.
  • Default output is width-safe and copy/paste safe (no trailing spaces).
  • ANSI coloring is optional and MUST be applied to visible characters only (spaces are not colorized).
  • This skill uses a built-in 5x5 font. It is not a full FIGlet engine.

How to use this skill

Inputs (recommended)

  • brand (required)
  • width (default 80; if < 60 use compact mode)
  • slogan (optional; centered line under the logo)
  • hint (optional; centered line under the slogan)
  • glyph (ascii | block, default ascii)
  • center (default true)
  • rule (default true; set false for hero output)
  • version/repo/docs/author (optional; only used when rule=true)
  • colorMode (none | ansi256, default none; logo only)
  • colorStart/colorEnd (0-255, defaults 33/129; only when colorMode=ansi256)

Outputs (required)

  • bannerPlain: banner text (ASCII-only when colorMode=none)
  • compactPlain: compact banner when width < 60
  • plainTextFallback: if colorMode is enabled, also provide a no-color fallback (same layout)

Workflow

  1. Define inputs: brand, width, optional slogan/version/repo
  2. Run the generation script
  3. Verify output against quality checklist (width, alignment, no trailing spaces)
  4. If colorMode=ansi256, generate colored variant and provide plainTextFallback

Script Usage

# Basic banner
python3 scripts/generate_banner.py --brand "MyApp" --width 80

# Banner with slogan and version
python3 scripts/generate_banner.py --brand "MyApp" --width 80 \
  --slogan "Build faster" --version "1.0.0" --repo "https://github.com/org/myapp"

# Compact mode (width < 60)
python3 scripts/generate_banner.py --brand "MyApp" --width 50

# With ANSI 256 color gradient
python3 scripts/generate_banner.py --brand "MyApp" --width 80 \
  --colorMode ansi256 --colorStart 33 --colorEnd 129

Script

  • scripts/generate_banner.py

Examples

  • examples/banner-80.md
  • examples/banner-compact.md
  • examples/banner-slogan-centered.md
  • examples/color-ansi256.md

Quality checklist

  1. 80-column output does not wrap; no trailing spaces
  2. Width < 60 uses compact mode
  3. Color mode does not break alignment (spaces are not colorized)
  4. Never prints secrets (tokens, internal URLs, personal data)
